Here’s The Iconic Halo Theme With A Cowboy Twang
There are a number of tunes in the video gaming world that have risen to the status of “iconic.” The Super Mario Bros. 1-1 music, the opening crystal music for the Final Fantasy series, and Vampire Killer from Castlevania are among the elite.
Marty O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori’s Halo theme is one of the more recent additions to the setlist of gaming greats. It’s hard to imagine a successful cover without the chorus in the background, but The Warp Zone has managed it.
In the channel’s latest “unplugged” video, a cowboy quintet reimagines the theme song. Now, if only the matchmaking for The Master Chief Collection weren’t quite so unplugged.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
